HEY TRISTAN!!! :)
Tristan! You're the best Vocal Coach!
@@abbyt9563 I hang out and sometimes do events or listen in on events cause there are a lot of good singers!
olivia rodrigo and conan gray are the proof that the next generation of songwriters raised by taylor swift is going to be powerful!
Yes!!
Yass
and the vocals of Ariana Grande
Omg yes! I’m so happy Olivia adds a story telling aspect to her music! That’s why I really love her songs so far! It’s not about the best or melody but rather what the message is behind each lyric! I actually covered drivers License and deja vu! It would mean a lot if someone gave it a listen! :)
YES
LMAO “girl we r in pandemic u need to have 2 different ice creams” BYE 😭😭😭
rIGhT oLIVia the ice cream can wait 💅🏽
Yeah oLivIA
I am dying 💀

The whole song is so tongue in cheek.. Like she's angry but deflecting with humour and almost making fun of her ex and the 'new girl'. Drivers licence felt like pure grief over the ending of the relationship and that want to have everything back like it was, and the vocals reflected that vibe. This one has a bit more of a 'fuck you' quality and again, I feel the vocals reflect that.. light and airy and kind of mocking in places and then a bit more aggressive in places. I really like it.
Same I completely agree Rebecca
I will not like this to keep the digits of the likes to be consecutive numbers. It is currently 123 at the time of posting this reply. Whoever changes the number will be hit by someone with a drivers license.
This is a perfect way to describe it love this song gives me old Taylor swift vibes when she belts slightly - anyone else?
I thought the same too but I saw a comment on the MV saying that it was about a friendship but idk if that's true.
@@mdzs_butterfly6111 It's not about a friendship it's about a breakup
" girl you just got your drivers licence and you're driving with one hand and you got the nerve to record it , okay " 😂😭😭😭✋✋
Time stamp?
right in the beginning he says it
@@makaylagrilo3584 at the beginning
“ that ice cream looks nasty” 😭💀
that got me too😂
Tristan: looks disgusted Me: Oh he likes this a lot.
So true
Amazing, so so good! I actually just covered this song and could rlly use some feedback myself haha
Lol
@@marysfilms where tho?
I don’t think the world is ready for her to release an entire album ✨
ughhh I'm so ready. a new, good album release is long overdue 💕
So the world must end before May 21st ig. Thanks for letting me know! ¡Adios! 🏃
Peaches
im so ready
I am. I haven’t listened to albums of western artists in a while apart from Taylor swift and Justin beiber
Tristan you’re the only vocal coach on here who actually can tell us what the singer is doing vocally and recreate it which proves you know what you’re doing. You’re incredible
awww thank you!!! i think there are other good ones but I do try to show things the best I can
@@tristanparedes well you’re the best one for sure !
Check out Hannah bayles, she does the same actually
@@tanner.y2114 I have I don’t think she explains things nearly as well as Tristan
@@buggy627 we can agree to disagree, I personally think she is batter at explaining, but no hate to Tristan! I love him 😍
she gives me lorde + taylor swift vibes and I'M HERE FOR IT
Yaaah we think the same
YEESSS THAT'S IT
Omg yessssss!!!
lorde..???
yess she named them both as her biggest influences !!
This song is such a different vibe from “drivers license” but its just as good.
I fully agree . She just keeps getting better and better !!! To be 18 and achieved so much ..wow🥰 I’m happy for her success
Yes it really is but I’m here for it! I love that it’s more upbeat and how she describes the angry and sad feeling after a breakup! I actually covered this sign if anyone wants to give it a listen! :)
@@Jennifer.lucero i agree completely 😁 and I will take a look at your cover 💚
@@RA-ts7mw thank you so much, I really appreciate it! :)
Peaches
I loved how in Drivers License she talks about “white cars” and now in this song she’s the one driving the white car
its like shes driving out of drivers license and into deja vu
Amazing, so so good! I actually just covered this song and could rlly use some feedback myself haha
She was laying on the hood of it in the bridge of drivers license
She's not bitter, she's SOUR ❤️❤️❤️
i love that she says "i bet you even tell her how you love her in between the chorus and the verse" and then whispers "i love you" between the chorus and the verse!! its genius !
Taylor raised her well ❤️
i know rightttt
the touches honestly ✨
@@andil5401 taylor sucks tho shes good
@@fluffy_c0w027 💀 why you gotta be so bitter it ruins the mood
You can hear the Lorde and Taylor Swift influences but she added her own flavor to it and it's sooooo good.
Also Gracie Abrams
awe I miss Lorde 💜
Aha new flavour. Ice cream pun
Liv is the sprinkles on the strawberry icecream
@@emilysandoval6894 no
I love the scream “I know you get deja vu” bc it reminds me of a Taylor Swift song and I know how much she loves Taylor. It feels like she kinda did it to pay homage
true actually!
cruel summer!! also the vibe of the mv feels like what that mv should have been if it was a single
* HE LOOKS UP GRINNING LIKE A DEVIL *
Peaches
It reminds me of the pre chorus of getaway car and also cruel summer and it feels like such a tribute.
it’s almost like she’s going through the stages of grief but in a different order
Hahaha lmao 😆
yeah and her newest song good 4 u is the anger stage
Yeah lol
there is no "right" order for the stages of grief. Every person experiences it differently.
@@Kamloopsmomof2 yes but the general stages of grief are known to be denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance
" We're in a pandemic ,you need to have two separate ice creams ". R.I.P me ,I died, dead. 😂😂😂
Omg , Tristan liked my comment. Is this real?
tell me why i didn’t get it 🧍🏻♀️😭
@@denissee8016 swifties always talking abt death when they meet Taylor, in a graham norton show she said “RIP Me, I died,dead” imitating her fans :)
I like that Olivia’s songs are not static. She’s always doing something different throughout the song. Never boring!

@@maryfrail2292 she’s from bizaardvark and the high school musical show on Disney+

@@butterflybubbles3165 she’s not from disney
@@butterflybubbles3165 ari's nick but still kids tv
She is really "new" in lots of ways. I'm really glad that such a teen girl is doing something so out of the regular, and it's clear her Lorde's influence.
taylor swift too
Can’t wait for upcoming artists tbh. The only thing holding them back is probably budget since being a DIY artist is pretty hard. Olivia hit the jackpot with the help of a label and her disney shows. Can’t wait to hear more!
Can't wait Olivia and Conan next Taylor gen
It felt like an indie rock throwback for me but that genre was my high school/college jam so I like seeing that
olivia is going to prove, again and again. that she isn't a singer that got "lucky" and only knows how to make one "good" song. she has vocal SKILLS, good production (dan) and she knows how to WRITE SONGS.
Me already knowing he’s gonna like it.
Haha yes, it’s a really different vibe but I love that she is a storyteller! This song is really good! I actually covered it if anyone wants to give it a listen! :)

olivia really said "i'm not just a one hit wonder girl and i'm back with a banger"
Yup. Her other songs before driver's license are great too like Wondering and All I want
@@agirlhasnoname8302 ALL I WANT IS LOVE THAT LASTS IS ALLL I WANT TOO MUCH TO ASK IS IT SOMETHING WRONG WITH MEEEE
@@ayeshasmiles79 yes. ❤️ My favourite line is " I won't fight for love if you won't meet me halfway
To be honest i thought she was gonna be exactly that and i'm really glad she's proving me wrong
Her team really nailed it with picking this song after driver’s license. Dan Nigro did amazing with Deja Vu! She’s gonna continue to shine bright with inspiring people around her.
brooo you can hear the taylor influence in those sick little shouty bits where olivia says “everything is all reused!” and “i know you get deja vu!” towards the end of the song. sounds just like tswift’s cruel summer: “i don’t wanna keep secrets just to keep you!” once you hear it you really can’t unhear it
Omg I was going crazy trying to think what song it sounded like. Thank you!! 😫🤯
she said she liked the screaming parts taylor did in cruel summer’s bridge
Ikr! Like even the last part she was obviously inspired by Taylor
Also in Cruel Summer where Taylor goes "He looks up grinning like a devil! "
I thought the exact same!!!
and by the way, not only did she learn music from Taylor, but also business moves...she owns her music...(drivers license and deja vu...and her merch, obviously she splits profits with her label and stuff, but SHE OWNS IT)!!
✨As a queen should ✨
this song hits different when you’re kinda going through the same situation
luckily I'm numb at this point and can't feel anything 👁👄👁
@@tristanparedes NOOOOO LMAO 😭
@@ecb3828 😂
Yeah, I feel ya.
Peaches
I love how you played the song once to get your first reaction, and then went through it again to explain what she's doing with her vocals. Please continue to do this style of video!
seems like the best way to balance out the different types of viewers! Some people just want the first half and some people only want the second 😂
Definitely agree!
@@tristanparedes well I want both! 🤣 Love it
It’s smart
Amazing, so so good! I actually just covered this song and could rlly use some feedback myself haha
I hope she goes indie pop. This song was like a slight nod to it and I loved it
I agree, i feel like she fits indie pop
yes !! omfg conan gray, mxmtoon and dodie have the same vibes
I hope she goes Upbeat and loud kind of like punk
She’s probably gonna be like Gaga in the sense that she could do a lot of different genres and sounds
Tristan talking about how Olivia stans were sleeping at the wheel but he's obviously the biggest stan lol
I think the girl waving at her in the video is basically signalling that she has been there all along even before she supposedly "replaced" her. So even before her and the person broke up that girl has always been there observing her when Olivia thought she was the one observing her... If that makes sense lol.
oh that’s an interesting theory i didn’t think about that
Like a Stalker? That wanted to take Olivia's place and now does everything Olivia did with the person when they were together?
Yo the statement feels inception like, but it does make sense. Cuz everything is re-used! Just a different girl.
this is what i thought too when i watched it before this viddd
So Olivia is actually the one who whith he gets deja vu? This is confusing
I can’t believe this is just the start of her career and she’s popping tf off Not to mention she writes her own songs. I only recently discovered some of the stuff she did for HTMTMTS when she was younger and it’s amazing how talented she is.
I think the "not quite hitting the note" thing I think comes from the blues scale. It gives that line a bluesy/soulful undertone, which u wouldn't expect in a poppy number like this with so much falsetto and sonic consonance. It's brilliant writing and even more brilliant vocals!
Can’t wait for him to react to “good 4 u” it’s so good omg
Ikr
Honestly I like this better than driver’s license
it's def more unique!
Same! It is more addictive!
Same and that’s saying a lot since drivers license is so good
@@tristanparedes yur ♥ went away on my comment. damn YT edits 😩 lol 💕
But doesn’t it sound a lot like cruel summer by TS?
that part in the bridge where she kinda yells “i know you get deja vu” sounds like the chorus of cruel summer by taylor
That's exactly what I thought
Ahh I just made the same comment sorry girl. But I couldn’t remember the song for the life of me! I’m so glad I’m not the only one who noticed
i think it sounds like the part in cruel summer’s bridge “i love you ain’t that the worst thing you ever heard?”
@@jess_k6281 ah yeah i was thinking the bridge but said chorus. ofc ofc ofc and “i don’t wanna keep secrets just to keep you”
Yes she says she was inspired by that!
“you just got your license and you’re driving with one hand and recording it” I’m living for it 😂🥺
"she's a bit bitter" That's a nice way of describing jealousy
The fact that she dropped this and then followed it up with: oh yea I decided to make an album instead of an EP and that’s coming soon too haa ha
2:20 Tristan being confused and flustered like a scared duck. I luv this 😂
haha that looks like my cat confused face 😹
Not only is Olivia's music a masterpiece, But Olivia is a masterpiece. Edit: I just realized this sounds like a bot comment but its not 💀
True
"How do you give a nostalgic feeling to it?" DEJA VU
It’s so wild to me that Taylor Swift has been in the industry long enough now that we have upcoming artists clearly influenced by her but they have their own sounds too. Love it. 👌🏻
It sound more like ariana mixed with billie eilish
Conan was also a swiftie I really love this Conan and Olivia nd Taylor aaaaaaaaaaaaa 😭😭
I didn’t hear Taylor at all - heard Billie and Lana immediately!
@@Youokhun this song's bridge sounds like Taylor's song cruel summer. Its is pretty much the same. Listen to it and youll hear why ppl are saying taylor has an influence.
I like how she’s now being respected as an actual singer and not just some actress who wanted to do music because she really is a lyrical genius and is very talented
it’s weird in an artist to drop two singles and them being actually good so I’m proud of Olivia!
3 now😉 Btw subscribe to Arhan Kamdar
I really love her dedication to details like when the harmonies only set in when she sings “singing in harmony” 😩✋
THE SPONGEBOB PART HAD ME CACKLING PLEASE-
LITERALLY LMAOOOO ive been looking for a comment like this
Olivia realizing she's the deja vu one is my favorite part.
@@babyaquarius4331 the whole song Olivia thinks she is the original girl and the other girl is just her replacement, her copy but at the end when girl starts waving at her Olivia realizes that she is the one replacing the other girl all along and that that girl was before her and Liv is actually a copy
@@leona3237 WHATTTT I DIDNT KNOW THIS??
@@leona3237 is it because Olivia has been watching the girl the whole video so it makes her the "impostor"?
@@giovanatammy81 not rlly it was more that her watching the girl was Olivia’s perception and her “false” reality. She thought she is the one watching the girl and secretly laughing at her telling her “me and him already did all those things and you are just a replacement.” It was what she thought is happening. But at the end we can see the girl was actually watching Olivia and when the girl started waving at her thats when Olivia realized she was wrong and what was actually happening is that that girl was the original girlfriend and Olivia is the one replacing her and now being watched by the girl that was before her. So when she came to that realization she stopped laughing and got upset and thats why she started crashing the screens
@@leona3237 no I don’t think that’s the case. I think Olivia is watching this girl but , all along, this girl has been watching Olivia hence the picture of Olivia in her room and the girl waving at her. I think the girl has been there all along before she even replaced Olivia and has been watching her trying to get in between her and Joshua.
Tristan: 🥴😖🤨 Also Tristan: omg I love it
I commented this somewhere else but I read that the video is both olivia and the other girl thinking they were the first and watching, almost obsessing over the other. But in the end they don't really know who was first and who is being "replaced" and she gets angry and breaks everything because the girl she's watching is doing the same to her.
0:09 yeah i know!! It was at 15k views but had 100k+ likes... like what? 😂
Yes there's a lot of likes at that point!
Yes I saw that too KZhead bugging out
youtube glitch
pretty sure it's because most of her fans were in school
@@ejatmosfera3078 no youtube's been buggy. 90,000 people were watching live and it didn't even count those views. And if you checked back hours later it still had 15,000 views but had gained 100k more likes.
his face when the beat dropped😭😭
He was glitchinggggg lmao
I love how as an artist she doesn’t just ride the wave of her first hit. She is such a talented girl and I can’t wait for the other songs on SOUR
did yall hear the " I love you" after she said "I bet you even tell her how you love her in between the chorus and the verse"
"That ice cream looks nasty" 😂😂😂😂
She said it was mashed potatoes in some shots! Nasty.
Yeah in some shots it was mashed potato cuz actual ice cream would melt and end up looking like a drink lol
omg Maribel I said that too😂😂😂
Instead of following the line of a sad ballad and using the same formula, Olivia takes a risk and shows her versatility in this second single, her songs without being released (she posted them on her instagram and Tik tok) are excellent vocally and lyrically, so the upcoming album will be a success, I can't wait for May 21 the album have 11 songs
the lyrics ❤️ ppl don’t usually release that many for their first album also all her beautiful unreleased songs that we’ve heard a little bit of have been highly requested to be on the album so I’m not surprised that there is 11 songs !!!
True! Didn't think of it that way! Especially when I've heard a lot of her HSM work and know she has crazy good vocal chops. Instead, she went for something more niche and chaotic vibey and it paid off!
@@tristanparedes totally true, she said that the album has pop, old rock and folk genres, and she think it's the best that can do until now (referring to her age I guess) anyways I think it will show all her potential there, I love you Tristan, thanks for supporting Olivia and for talk to me in this comment 💓

'I KNOW YOU GET DEJA VU'... 'I DONT WANNA KEEP SECRETS JUST TO KEEP YOU' WE STAN TAYLOR LOVING QUEEN !!
Olivia is speaking everything I’ve ever felt after a heart break, i literally love her and her soul, EVERYTHING
fun fact: she whispered "i love you" right before the second chorus, exactly after she says "i bet you tell her how you love her in between the chorus and the verse" so that's really clever by her part. also, her producer is Dan Nigro! (time stamp: 3:30 its very subtle but its there!)
I missed that!!!
I noticed that tooooooo
3:30???
@@creativekid5215 i heard it thank you for the timing
Damn! Thanks for pointing that out! I didn't get to listen to this with headphones yet so I didn't pick up on it

there will be soon!!!
Reason of video: to review the new song Tristan: that ice cream looks nasty
she really is amazing. It’s crazy that she’s 18 and her talent is really complimented with such amazing producers UGHGGHHH she’s too good
Olivia said that sometimes she used mashed potatoes instead of actual icecream 😭
ewww
That’s common since ice cream melts very easily, but the mental picture makes me queasy
Yeah that’s what many food stylists do it when shooting ice cream because it doesn’t melt like like cream does
Can we all agree that Tristan havin eargasms every time the beat dropped was one of the highlights of this video?? Lol
I'm now addicted to your vids. This is the 2nd vid I've watched from you. Love it!
She just sounds fresh and just feels like she’s gonna take over the decade along side with Billie Eilish The Kid LAROI Iann Dior and 24kgoldn. All these super young artists just rising and making some noise is awesome.
you missed that she included harmonies over the lyric 'harmony' in the beginning. I am just convinced she is an artistic genius
wait whats the time stamp?
YESSS when i heard the harmony i was so happy
he probably heard and just didn’t say anything idk cause it was pretty obvious in my eyes and i noticed it on the first listen
and the "I love you" after the line "in between the chorus and the verse"

Her voice and music video aesthetic could make any song a hit.
Definitely hear the emotion in her voice. Beautiful! I could listen to her 24/7
Tristan literally sums up all my thoughts about one song in less than 20 minutes. I could never-
“YOU JUST GOT YOUR DRIVERS LICENSE AND YOU’RE GONNA DRIVE ONE HAND??” LMAOOOO
Fun fact: After the lines "Now I bet you even tell her, how you love her, In between the chorus and the verse." She whispers, "I love you."
This song was bomb! She is so popular from her second song that imagine how popular she will be after her 10nth! Btw Déja vu in French means already seen Tristan! Big fan!
I literally love watching ur videos maaaannn I actually learn something!!! Along with get entertained!,😭
That “robot” nostalgic sound reminds me of 90’s/00s movies like 10 things I hate about you 🔥🔥🔥 so good.
I'm going to be honest, every time I watch his videos I have the urge to write a song just to feel good about my voice.
Everything about this song is perfection. It’s brilliant.
We're only 2 years into this decade and already have had amazing albums like after hours, folklore, and future nostalgia, and then olivia comes out of nowhere and drops bombs like no man's business, I'm eager to see what this decade will evolve into musically, and honestly don't think I'm ready for it
« -Yo, girl its the middle of a pandemic you need to have 2 separate ice creams ok?! » 😂😂😂
